Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

My youngest will be entering High School as a Senior which means no more standing at the bus stop in the rain…he drives, and no more back to school shopping…he wouldn’t be caught dead shopping with his mother…besides he has his own Debit Card.

His last year in High School is bittersweet but it doesn’t mean I can’t go “Back to School Shopping” and take advantage of the end of the season sales.

Leaving TJ Maxx I saw Barbie, a true fashionista, whose skirt and top were purchased at Nzinga’s Boutique. A perfect outfit to wear out and about running errands or shopping (s/o to Steve aka Ken – lol)

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

Today would have been my sister’s 50th birthday and as kids I would call her “Glori” , so what could have been a gloomy day turned out to be a Glori-ous one, my Angel still shines brightly – Rest In Heaven Glori!

It took a little longer to get dressed this morning because I’m still not wearing heels and the weather forecast called for temps in the 80’s . As much as I wanted to break out the summer gear I held back. Decided on this thrifted polka dot skirt from GW Boutique, red sleeveless top from Ross or TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Red Stripped Wedge shoes from Avon.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Yay, today my energy level is high, and I am getting excited about having off next week – I hope to take a day or two and just do nothing! I also plan to use a day to clean out my closets and prepare a large Goodwill donation before the end of the year. Raising a glass to a productive and stress free day – cheers!

Checking for Malik’s school bus – don’t want him to be late for school – lol

Good Thursday, I hope your day is positive and productive. Today is less stressful now that I am back in my own cubicle after only an hour and half commute which always starts with a prayer for safe travels.

The outfit of the day is a 70’s throwback, wide leg pants and wedge sandals which I wore in Junior High School. The pants were purchased in May (here) and the sandals in June (here), but the patterns compliment each other – I love when that happens! The mix of jewelry includes wood, glass, plastic, stone and metal another throwback to the fashions of the 60’s and 70’s. Purse was purchased from TJ Maxx and is just large enough to carry all my daily essentials without being too bulky. I wish my figure was a throwback to the 70’s, then perhaps the belt purchased from Goodwill would fit a little less snug!

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday – which is officially my Friday at least as far as work is concerned. After today I will have the next 3 days off from work, no 3 hour daily commuting in rush hour traffic until Monday the 9th – oh happy day!

I plan on spending most of my staycation lounging poolside eating, drinking, and reading. I’ll throw in a little housework, movie watching and napping to round things out – lol.
